ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic back rest is described consisting of two semi-circular or half round steel supports, standing upright and spaced apart, with their ends resting upon the ground level. Connecting the two round supports at opposite ends are cross bars near the ground, one cross bar providing a foot support for mounting the back rest and the opposite cross bar providing one portion of a rectangular shaped opening adapted to receive a person's head. Covering the upper portion of the arc forming the arch is a plurality of flat wood slats bolted between each of the half round steel supports. Near the top of the arched back rest is a pair of nearly vertical pull up supports for the person's ease in using the device. A mat covers the wood slats, the mat having a rectangular head opening conforming to the opening in the structure. The therapeutic back rest provides a constant curving arch for the person's back, neck and pelvis area, completely lifting the person off the floor.
